Hi all, As I do appear to be making some progress on getting an XFS-enabled d-i image together, I thought I would give everyone a status update. The 2.4.22-based kernel-image packages are now sitting in the NEW queue; although no real support for these can reasonably be committed to d-i CVS until they've entered the archive, I've also posted the packages to <http://people.debian.org/~vorlon/d-i/xfs/> so that people can begin working with them locally in the meantime. I expect to also have unofficial linux-kernel-di udebs together in the next couple of days, which I'll also make available there. That takes care of the kernel. The other key ingredient, of course, is d-i support for initializing new xfs-formatted partitions. If I'm reading the source to partconf right, all that's required for this is an xfsprogs udeb that provides the mkfs.xfs tool. I found some time over the holiday to put together a patch for xfsprogs to provide precisely that, which I will be submitting to the BTS tomorrow. A few more days should give me enough time to get initial XFS-enabled d-i images together for i386, at which point testing will be most appreciated. Cheers, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
